Please try to be a trifle more respectful, Skippy. I respect your country's traditions.
Julia Ward Howe's poem, written during the American Civil War, read "Let us die to make men free!" not "Let is live to make men free!" The line was changed to be more "sensitive." Thousands of men died to make men free in that war, including Abraham Lincoln, and changing the lyrics dishonors their memory.The view at the end was of the Hudson River, not the sea.
They changed the most important lyric of the entire song. They said “As he died to make men holy, let us live to make them free”. The original lyric is “as he died to make men holy, let us die to make them free” which is infinitely more badass in my personal opinion. If I had a choice, this would be our national anthem.
Yep, it harkens back to when it was written, the American Civil War, where the Union Army fought and died to preserve the Union and free the enslaved people in the South. I also like that line because it paints the moral that freedom is never free. Someone always paid for it. Jesus paid the price on the Cross to give us the freedom to follow him and live through him free of sin, and the historical context of Union soldiers dying to ensure enslaved people were free to have a better tomorrow. I don't understand why they use "let us live" than "let us die" to make man free. Maybe more of a Christian connotation, but I find the idea of dying for freedom is much more potent than living for freedom because such a cause to be worth anything, one has to be willing to, if need be, perish to ensure others have the freedom to live a prosperous tomorrow.
Mormons changed lots of stuff and brainwash their quasi-Christian religion students with trash.
To be a Morman ..... is to be brainwashed in an evil cult that abuses women and children.
The major reason why Latter-day Saints changed that one lyric is because, even though brave men and women died for freedom, Christ is the only one that died for all the souls of mankind. This includes all men and women that died on both sides of every controversy and war.
We are not just trying to Live for Freedom, but strive for Peace and Harmony for all, because Jesus Christ paid for our Salvation in full with His own Life..
@@TacoBlend It’s preachy guys like you that make me happy with the fact that Christianity is dying in America. The main generation that goes to church are geriatrics, and they have one foot out the door already. Going to be hard to grift the younger generation out of their time and money, and I for one, cheer on with glee. Believe what you want, but I didn’t ask, nor do I care, keep it to yourself.
The way I see it, the one with "die to make men free" should be a wartime version. The one with "live to make men free" should be the peacetime version.
THE TABERNACLE CHOIR IS A GRAMMY AWARD WINNER VERY FAMOUS AROUND THE WORLD!
Need to watch their version of the song during the inaugural address of President Reagan. His emotional response was priceless. Because of the Choir’s performance President Reagan nicknamed the Choir “America’s Choir”
I've always loved the Mormon Tabernacle Choir since I heard them in Handel's Messiah with Eugene Ormandy conducting the Philadelphia Philharmonic. The thing I most admire about the choir is their clarity: You can hear all the words sung, the phrasing and syncing of the sound is always perfect. Because of the unity of tone and phrasing, their sound has a bigger quality to it. When members of an ensemble don't sound in precise tune, the interference causes a diminution in sound. I don't hear that in the MTC, which gives the choir an even bigger sound that the large number of singers suggests.
The Mormon choir are volunteers from all over Utah. It's a huge honor for Mormons to be in this choir.
They are not “Mormons” , they are members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints !!!
@@josephwhirlwind6086otherwise known as Mormons
That was composed during our civil war in 1860 to 1965.taps was even composed during that time
'When You Walk Through A Storm' by the Tabernacle Choir, please! OR The Tabernacle Choir And Sissel singing, 'Slow Down'!!!!
If I am correct this would be at maybe the graduation ceremony @ West Point Academy for newly graduated Army cadets. They brought in the Tabernacle Choir as guest performance but it was the Army band that was accompanying them. Nice vid and reaction. The M.T.C. is world renowned and not sure if I am familiar with any another choir in U.S.A. that compares. Cool reaction vid
This was actuaĺy the annual Fourth of July Concert. I was there and this was unabashedly the most patriotic, flag-waving concert I have ever attended. The MTC and all the Westpoint bands performed. The MTC brought their own orchestra (who accompanied them on this piece) but all performers joined on several other numbers. It was a spectacular concert and a memorable night!
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s
Made popular by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir’s Grammy winning performance in 1959, Peter Wilhousky’s famous arrangement of Battle Hymn of the Republic has remained a staple to this day.
There is a video of them singing this at Ronald Reagan's inaugural parade. Everyone has tears their eyes.
That is the Hudson River in the background at West Point NY.
Check out the Hallelujah Chorus by this choir.
Correction: it is the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. While we have been called "Mormons" for over a century, the President of the Church has instructed members to stop using that nickname, instead emphasizing the full name of the church. Thus why the Tabernacle Choir changed it's name (because it is affiliated with our church).
I appreciate the correction but I think Mormon Tabernacle Choir is appropriate for this video because of the choir's namesake and heritage when they made their version of this song popular. But I'm with you and the Prophet in most other cases
Cool. But that waaaay too long a name to be used in casual conversation. To those outside the church, it was always be Mormon. Unless you can come up with a catchy acronym. Oh yeah…LDS.
there is one word in this song that is so often changed! And, it changes the whole meaning of the song! Here, they said, ": As he died to make men holy, let us LIVE to make men free." the original lyric was, " let us DIE to make men free."
I guess it isn't a huge surprise to see the Mormon's trying to whitewash history, lol.
These words were penned by the great abolitionist, suffragette and Unitarian, Julia Ward Howe.
I love that the Battle Hymn, the rallying cry of the Union (the North, which advocated an end to slavery), was written by a woman.
This arrangement of the Battle Hymn is by Peter Wilhowsky (I am sure I spelled his name wrong) and is probably the most performed version of the piece.
All branches of the US Military have bands and choruses, and it is such a sweet gig that it is very competitive to get into one. They have to go through rigorous basic training (boot camp) and learn to fire a machine gun, but in return they get a starting salary of $60,000 give or take a few bucks, they travel the world entertaining troops and others as goodwill ambassadors, and after a 20 year enlistment can retire all set for life with a full military pension.
the MormonTabernacle Choir is one of the most famous and accomplished volunteer symphonic choirs in America. they have made many albums which you might enjoy. :)
I love your channel. Next time I come to Stockholm can I buy you a beer??!?? Tack!
There are 360 members of the Tabernacle Choir and they sing with one voice.
I've listened to this hymn for decades and still am deeply inspired. Review the origin of this work of art. It is deeply spiritual and influenced by a time in US history To understand the American heart, look into the origin. The lyrics are like an Old Testament Bible study. The American Great Awakening ran its course only a few decades before the Civil War. There was a growing anti-slavery movement then. Think of Uncle Tom's Cabin written before the Civil War. My suggestion for another look is Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address after. It's considered one of the best oral presentations in American history. Your probably are aware the word "hallelujah' from the Bible means 'Praise God.' Like Handel's 'Messiah' wills filled with the same "hallelujah' throughout. We know how compelling that music was in Europe. Best wishes as more learn of the dream that is America.
It was on the 4th of July!
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is not from West Point, they were guests of West Point as was the Orchestra at Temple Square. The West Point Band was sitting in with the Orchestra Strings so it was a joint instrumental ensemble.
The Battle Hymn of the Republic is possibly the most important song for the Union (the North, who were trying to preserve the United States) during the American Civil War of 1861-1865. West Point is our most prestigious Military Academy where the top US Army officer recruits go to University, although some Sailors/Marines who went to Annapolis (the US Naval Academy) may beg to differ. The Mormons are an interesting choice for this, but they did an excellent job
True. It's also worth pointing out the funny trivia that this song was written originally by a Southern guy and the Confederate theme Dixieland was originally written by a Northern guy. Ironic, but supposedly true. (At least according to my civil war teacher from years ago. Take that with some grains of salt.)
It's a great hymn for sure! The choir does such an awesome job singing it. They're the perfect ones to sing it. They are America's choir after all.
It's hard to outsing a good tahburnickle.
West point is the US Army military academy. Where future soldiers become officers. Upon graduation they are sworn in as lieutenants. Then these freshly minted lieutenants receive orders to their branch and duty station.
Naval academy in Annapolis MD is the naval and marine corps academy.
West point is in New York state.
I served in the army.
US Army. Hoaaahhh
Please react to the version of this song by Judy Garland. It will blow your mind away.
I had the great honor of hearing the Tabernacle Choir sing the Battle Hymn at the 100th Anniversary of the relationship between the Boy Scouts of America and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Spectacular experience. Very sadly, a couple of years later, the church chose to terminate the relationship.
As he died to make men holy, let us die to make make men free...
